Apalling medical care at Entabeni Hospital

Ive been hospitalsed at Entabeni hospital in the Surgical ward Fin 1. Im very disappointed with the care that i received there . I was admitted on the 7th of October 2019 for an infection on my foot (Cellulitis on my right foot) ,for the first few days the treatment was okay . My last 3 days was extremely appalling.

My blood pressure was elevated to 237/101 and all the nurse did was write it down and didnt inform the sister in charged . When i asked the the sister in charged if she informed my doctor about it , she looked shocked and knew nothing about it . If something happened to me who is going to be responsible for it because the staff will cover their tracks.

I had quiet a few incidents also was very shocked at the doctor who came and saw me on Monday . All he wanted to do is to tale me to theatre for a debribemint. He was not concerned about my elavated blood pressure. He said i dont treat blood pressure im a vascular surgeon. Hes name is Dr Islam. When he said this to me i got extremely angry and decided tp discharge muself. The nurse that discharged me did not do any observations,she made me sign a blank form .
